DOG

In this scenario, my company is based off the already existing company Caterpillar Inc. or CAT. So I’m a worldwide, multi-million dollar tractor company. Caterpillar is a huge industry that emphasizes engineering greatly, so this definitely relates to my field.

Memo

January 29, 2014

To: All DOG Employees

From: Chief Executive Officer Lauer

Subject: New Worldwide Partner, Communication Ethics Standards to be followed by All Employees

Beginning this new quarter, there will be a new company working for us run by CEO Chairman Ms. Rachel Smith. Her company designs and builds small stock cars for racing in worldwide events. There company is booming and they need our help to improve industry and take their company to the next level. Some of you will be working and communicating with employees of her company so you need to know the proper measures to take when talking with her staff.

First off, her company is very close to ours in that it has the same standards and engineering background that we have kept with for years, so as always, keep communication brief and to the point. Long emails are not effective emails if they waste time with unneeded extra explanation. Her team is here for answers and effective time management over the next quarter. She is trying to boost industry capacity and production tenfold, so be professional as always and keep to direct conversations. She is also our business partner, so don’t be afraid to be blunt about circumstances and speak forward to improving her company.

In the end, you’re all adults and know how to talk in a professional manner to fellow business partners so this is just a friendly reminder.

Regards,

John Lauer
